| Brief Description of the
Project |
The Tennessee Department of Human
Services (THDHS)contracted with the University of Tennessee College of Social Work Office
of Research and Public Service (UT SWORPS) in July 1997 to conduct a pilot project working
with three East Tennessee Community Action Agencies on the implementation of
Results-Oriented Management and Accountability (ROMA) in their Community Services Block
Grant (CSBG) program areas. The second phase of the contract was to conduct training
sessions for all 22 agencies. This self-implementation guidebook is a product of many
collaborative efforts at the local, state, and federal levels. |
